Abstract

The rate at which our society is degenerating should worry both the ordinary citizens and the political class in Nigeria. Upon careful analysis, on may adduce that all social problems are moral problems. If serious efforts are not taken, not only by the government but also by individuals, moral values that make for peaceful co-existence, progress and development may be eroded from the society. It is on this premise that this paper takes a critical look in the values and relevance of morality and moral instructions in the society. As a result of the role morality plays in the society, it is recommended that moral instructions should be taught at both primary and secondary school levels in Nigeria. What are the issues involved in this recommendation? The paper looks into these.
